  1. It's HDMI 1.4a though, so 4K is only at 30Hz.
  2. On the other hand, thank god? The last time I was actually able to put up with a stock AMD cooler was when I slapped an FX-8350 cooler on an Athlon 64 X2 (which actually worked amazingly).
  3. I agree actually, for $30 brand new it's not a bad choice for upgrading an older rig to play less demanding games like League of Legends, as I'm pretty sure a cheap retired Core 2 Duo system + one of these would be up to the task.
  4. With this in mind, I'm tempted to feel like the only reason this card exists is to fuel this beef.
  5. It it just me or does the PSP's XMB seem snappier than the PS3's

      oh god, have you tried going to the XMB while you have a game running in the background. Bloody slow as balls waiting for the icons to load. But then again it only has 256MB of RAM....

  6. There isn't one linked lol, but pretty much any full-range (or manually switching voltage) PSU will work in Europe with the right power cable.
  7. Read the title, thought it was gonna be this song
  8. The one at the Tesla store I went to had roof racks Some people just don't have the time to get it fixed lol, my CR-V didn't have a rear bumper on it for quite a while even though insurance was ready to pay for the repair, I just didn't have time to bring it in to the shop, nor a spare car to use while it's getting fixed.
  9. As others have stated, it should last a while, but it's not a productive solution. As a result, nobody's really tried it to be able to tell you for sure.
  10. If your QX2710 is like mine and only has DVI, it won't work with HDMI, even when using an adapter. Tried for a long time to get my PS3 to work with it before finding out that it's unfortunately not supported.
  11. I ended up getting it, and I love it so far And yes, the stereo is amazing and easily keeps up with the overkill aftermarket systems that some of my friends have. I found out that the reason it felt lacking in power earlier was the lazy CVT gearbox which just has awful programming for the general "D" mode. When you want to actually drive it, it has a tiptronic shift gate that let's you shift through 6 fake "gears" and lets you downshift on demand and keep the revs up higher before shifting. As stupid as it does feel actually shifting using tiptronic it makes a very noticeable performance difference, especially when passing somebody. When you want to drive more economically you can also use it to intentionally shift at low revs, which doesn't really hinder performance that much in city driving. This is also proven because when under normal driving habits, shifting manually and keeping the revs below 2500 vs leaving it in D which holds revs about 3500 from a launch until you reach your desired speed and let off, dash computer shows ~3MPG better. CVT... it's lazy in performance, and it also could be doing better for fuel economy, what's the point of it? I'm pretty much manually shifting 100% of the time now. At least the fake "gears" work well. So far the only CVT I've driven that I've actually liked is Subaru, more specifically a 2014 Forester XT.
  12. I drove it and it was pretty nice. Will probably end up getting it, trying to get it down to $5000, but I wouldn't mind paying the $200 if need be. It's a really nice car. Could use a bit more power, but that's what the optional V6 is for and I don't really want to be paying the extra amount of gas anyways. And besides there's no V6 models for anywhere near the deal I'm getting for this one. I really like the back flip-down tailgate. A lot of times after school me and friends will sit around and have drinks, food, and talk and this is a lot better solution then sitting on the car itself or swinging out the CR-V's obnoxious hatch.
  13. SFX PSUs aren't that quiet but from what I've heard the new SFX-L PSUs are hugely improved in that regard.
  14. @BolivianGamer GELID Silent 12- can personally recommend, they're amazing for the price Other options: Fractal Silent Series R2 Noctua Redux Akasa Apache (aka Rosewill Hyperborea) Bitfenix Spectre Non-Pro (although not the best airflow) Arctic F12 are not bad but they feel flimsy imo
  15. As it is, a nice 550-650W. What is your budget and location?
  16. @Aytex good lord that sarcasm was missed so badly that it's practically scary
  17. It will downclock the RAM to the highest it supports (which I don't know off the top of my head) but I'm pretty sure you can get to 3300 with XMP

  19. So a friend of mine('s parents) is offering me a 2009 Mitsubishi Outlander for $5200. Has sunroof, remote start, and a pretty epic for stock Rockford Fosgate sound system. A pretty epic deal, only problem is it's even golder then Asus 8-series boards.
  20. That doesn't really help if OP already knows what Molex is.
  21. What PSU is it? If it's OEM, most of them don't come with molex anymore. Even my Dell from 2008 is SATA-only.
